time reemtlers of the class met'. `forth in latl l ent No. 738,454 to Kimball and Ialmer,dated fiepteinlier 8th, 1903,111 which a time printi ing.;l element is brought into printingnet-ion i by a suitable worl n1en`s manual, and is also shiftahle with reference to 4the impression receiving element whereby :sueeesnive records, representing times of arrival and vdeparture I of' the same worlnnan, are caused to he sion receiving element. In the patent referred to---isI shown a shitti'ner manual separate from the printing manna whereby two distinct operations are necessary, one by the made upon the record-sheet und the other to Shi-ft' 4the printing .meehanisnifor the next. )rioting operation of. the same workman. n another patent No. 738,350, issued Slept.. 8th, 1903 to thef-:ame inventors, is shown an automatic: or clock actuated means for .shifti ing theprintingI leviee fwherehy successive produced hy the operation of the n'inting' nurnualare caused to be made on (lliil'erent parts` of the reeorrtshect..

t The object of my present' invention is to .shift one of the elements hy -which the record' is made. by means of the saine workmene manual which effects such record sothat the worlunan muy be rec-rt edhy him, side by printirne,l manual. The advantage of this is that. the successive impressions, rel'n'esentin'g the tiniesof arrival and departuremay be. 'made in different positions andv close to each otherkm the record-sheet for the shortest-intervals loi" time intervening between the arr rival and departure.V This ei'lahles the worklfnan to make, a greater number of records Specification ol' Lettere Patent.

l( if; well known that in many manufactoriw: and department stores, as well as in pliunliing eratahlislnnents-many of the elnployees are in and out at irregular and .shortinterrals of time, and that in many factmics some of the worlnnen are sent from one department to another and rec'eive dilt'erent, irag'es in ,litlirient .lejjiartnients, although the time ol employment in each department may he short, and a further object of my invention, therefore, is to provide means hereby the records of arrival and departure of such workmen or employees may be accurately kept.

A. still further object is to prevent fra udn lent or inaccurate. registrations.

Other objects and uses will appear in the following description.

ln order to demonstrate the practieability and utility of my resent invention, I have shown a portion oi) to that. set forth in Patent No. 738,454, previously referred toand comprises essentially n supporting frame --1--; a platen #-2- carry-ing a. record-sheet -3-fand a suitable a time recorder similar.

.to which meshes willi a .-30 substantially 'l'hc platen is shown as mounted upon a revoluble shaft -t3- which is jouriialed in the frame -l-- and projects through-the front wall, as a dial-plate -T-,

the outer end oi said shaft being' provided willi a head to which is pivoted at -t)- an operating` lever v--lt)-, the pivot or fulerum U- being located at one side of the axis or shal't and the lever extending 15, seine distance beyond the opposite side o1 said axis. 'this end of the shaft -isforined with a lengthwise socket --llextending inwardly troni its outer end and in this socket is reciprocally movable a plunger lzfagainst the action of a spring 1-.

'l`he Vplunger l2 is actuated against the action of the spring tti-f by the lever lt)- and is con'neeted by a pin 1+i-- to a Sliding sleeve 1&3- which eneircles the shaft --tiat one end of the platen i5-3 the walls of lever 1U-- and spring -l3- the lever lli-- is rocked on its fulcruni 1`t)-. 7"' he free end of the level' lts^ pivotally connected to one end of a lsliding toothedvraek -20 pinion -2l--, and thereforte, the oscillation of the levert8 recprocatcs the toothed rack 20 and' thereby. rotates the `pinion -l This pinion is connected by a suitablel a revolving element, as a disk -22 which is on the same spindle with the pinion 2l-, but whereby the disk MM2- is rotated positively iii one direction by the pinion -21- half a4 revolution against the action of a spring motor -23- which serves to' complete the revolution of the disk -22 independently 'of the pinion 2l- This operati-on of tiheulisk -22 is similar to that set forth inllatent No. 738 Ltllllpreviously referred to, and since it, ,orins no pattof my present inventioi, itis unnecessary to further illustrate or d lse ibe its operation further than to state that'l any suitable eo mechanism may be en-iployed which will tension a spring motor and then release itsell l r topernilt the spring motor to continue the operation ofthe printing mechanism mde 'pendently ol the manuali l0 'lliis disk e5 --22--- is eceentrieally eoikmeeteil to one end p. utch,4 iibft\. 4,; necessary to herein illustrate or escribe, to'c ol' :i vertically reciprocating rod ---2-l--, the other end ol' which is connetded to a rocking support --.5 pivoted at "2G-f upon n part ol the supporting' frame and carrying at itsother end a clock actuated spindle 2T- upon which is mounted type-wheels ---land --5-. 'l`lie clock mechanism for actuating the spindle. is not shown., imt is substantially the same as that shown in the patents above referred to, and since this spindle and the means for drivingl it do not constitute any part ol' my present,

invention it is believed to be unnecessary to illustrate or describe the saine.

A spring butler ^--.S- is interposed 'be tween the rod -tand adjacent end of the rocking support Z5- to relieve the Jar upon the type-wheels during the Operation of printing and also to accommodate itself to varying thicknesses of paper which ma)l be used for the record-sheets- 'ilhe platen 2- consists of a circular drinn keyed to ilie shalt tiand adapted to be rotated therewith as theA operating lever --ltlis moved around the dial plate --T- to registtr with anyl one e'f a series of apertures aan which are distinguished by different numerals 'representing ditl'erent einployees. d A

"lhe 'lever lU--f` is provided with the usual spur, notr shown, but which is arranged to enter the particular aperture of the einployee operating the lever so 'as to held the shaft and pattern frein inoven'ient ,during the operation of printing, it being understood that the record-sheet -3- is provided with a column of numerals corresponding to ,the numbers and apertures upon the dial The minute type-veheelV -4- is Secured toia sleeve *s-Which is feathered n1V n a spindle --9771- and, therefore, rotates 'ith itg 4but, ist free to slide axially on :said
